As of today, I am no longer maintaining or supporting the Next Image extension for Firefox.

I don’t use Firefox anymore and, honestly, it’s just too much effort supporting a Firefox extension. Also, most of the functionality in this extension can be accomplished with a bookmarklet.

I have posted the code on github for anyone who is interested in reviving this project. However, most of the effort is administrative. Thanks to everyone who used and reviewed Next Image. Hopefully you will find an acceptable alternative.

I’m reading David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest this summer as part of Infinite Summer.

Since I love Google App Engine so much, I figured it would be fun to write a little app for tracking my progress in reading all 981 pages of IJ. Since Infinite Summer is a group effort, I’d also like to know who is ahead and who is behind.

Given a common place name (e.g. city, state or county name) or ZIP code, the current weather alerts for that zone will be returned along with location and timezone information. Place names are mapped to a county and timezone using the Yahoo! GeoPlanet web service. Weather alerts are provided by the NOAA’s state-by-state CAP feed.

I’m in the process of updating my extensions to support Firefox 3. Unfortunately, there were some significant changes in how extensions can be served. So, at this point, only my Next Image plugin is working. Also, it might not show up via the Add-ons manager “Find Update”, so please install it directly.
